Departments are responsible for performing all maintenance and repairs to their leased vehicles. All State of Michigan fleet vehicles are insured by the state and routine maintenance and repairs are included in your monthly lease fee.

A maintenance schedule is located in each vehicle's glove compartment in a laminated packet and below this paragraph. Consult this schedule for information on when to perform oil changes, tire rotations and other routine upkeep on each vehicle. Transportation Services staff perform quarterly checks on all fleet vehicles for maintenance, mileage and cleanliness.
